Synopsis (short abstract) The first seminar on the harmonization of fisheries legislation of the States members of the Sub-Regional Fisheries Commission was held in Dakar, Senegal, from 29 November to 2 December 1994. The seminar was organized in accordance with the programme of activities of project GCP/RAF/302/EEC - Improvement of the legal framework for fisheries cooperation, management and development of coastal states of West Africa that requires the project to support a process of harmonization of the fisheries leg islation of the States members of the Sub-Regional Fisheries Commission. The seminar, which brought together the highest ranking officers of the fisheries administrations of the concerned States, examined a document on the matter. On the basis of this document, the seminar identified normative sectors where harmonization measures appear necessary and proposed general guidelines for a work programme that could be progressively implemented in the sub-region with support from the project and the pa rtners associated with the Sub-Regional Fisheries Commission.
